Kankotri:
Traditionally Invitation Card, with details of a marriage occasion
was written on a piece paper with Kanku and sprinkled over it was
Chokha. The first invitee is the ‘Kul Devta’ of the family and
the second one to the maternal uncles of the bride/groom. The host
parents then had to personally visit each and every invitee with a
fistful of ‘Kanku’ with ‘Chokah’ and request them to be
present and grace the occasion. Only those who are invited then
attend the occasion.
